web3.storage does not skypack

[olizilla]

Trying to import web3.storage from skypack like so:

<script type="module">
import { Web3Storage } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/web3.storage'
</script>

fails with:

Uncaught TypeError: null has no properties
    <anonymous> https://cdn.skypack.dev/-/uint8arrays@v2.1.8-V4yKmFZA5flfvKIy9mKK/dist=es2020,mode=imports/unoptimized/util/bases.js:2
bases.js:2:17

yeah, this is hopefully fixed by:

• fix: windows build mikeal/ipjs#17
• feat: build esm modules using ipjs ipfs/aegir#865
• fix: bundle size action cmd ipfs/aegir#874
• chore: switch to esm achingbrain/uint8arrays#22
• chore: switch to ESM ipfs/js-ipfs-unixfs#161
• chore: update uint8arrays ipfs/js-ipfs-utils#137
• chore: update deps esm ipfs-car#71
• chore: update uint8arrays in every package ipfs/js-ipfs#3774
• chore: update ipfs core utils and types ipfs-car#79
• Skypack build failing with multiformats@9.4.5 multiformats/js-multiformats#115

This is currently blocked on figuring out a solution for CI tests with Electron on an ESM project (Electron does not support ESM).
We can compile ESM tests to CJS and use them for tests in Electron, which would be great but does not work with a monorepo, where one package depends on the other. Given we ship the content of dist (generated by ipjs with exports for cjs/esm), but in the monorepo tests, we will not import the dist content.

Let's check up on this (see if any movement) and make a call if we should just close this given that we have a solution for users and Skypack is no longer in active development. cc @alanshaw

It's currently failing with:

Uncaught TypeError: null has no properties
    <anonymous> https://cdn.skypack.dev/-/hamt-sharding@v2.0.1-2WfbeukgfNYgnLr54HmK/dist=es2019,mode=imports/optimized/hamt-sharding.js:4

There's some changes I made to hamt-sharding that need to be released. I would like to at least wait for that to happen before we close this.

Update on current known errors

From previous experience, once one issue is addressed, next pops in, so there is no clear indication on how many will exist

Did you solve this? I am also getting 'cannot destructure' error.
